"Human beings of all ages are happiest and able to deploy their talents to best advantage when they are confident that, standing behind them, there are one or more trusted persons who will come to their aid should difficulties arise." - John Bowlby (1979)

This page is a snapshot of the many people who inspire me with their optimism and zest for life.

This picture is of my grandmother. She was a pioneer for women in the martial arts and a working mum who raised 8 children. My grandparents were educators and started a school to provide affordable education for working adults. Their passion for education continues to inspire me.
